Kristol joins Stephen Henderson on Detroit Today to talk about his impression of Trump’s early days in office.

He says he has not seen anything that has changed his initial anti-Trump stance. However, he says that getting Neil Gorsuch approved as a Supreme Court Justice was important for Republicans.

“I do think Trump is a regression,” Kristol says, “to various forms of populism, and pseudo-conservatism, and even authoritarianism in many of those respects.”

According to Kristol, the replacement of former national security advisor Michael Flynn with H.R. McMaster could be remembered as a key moment, if Trumps presidency does not go horribly. Kristol says he has high regard for McMaster.
